At one point in time, virtual reality was a technology that was used for gaming and, it was an exotic technology that all of us could experience in gaming centers, malls, theatres etc. But, with some major changes that have happened in the virtual reality industry, now virtual reality is accessible to all at very reasonable rates, at the comfort of their houses and its usage has also gone far and beyond from gaming. It has become a tool to make businesses such as filmmaking, food industry, media, aviation, military training etc. more lucrative and cost effective. Although initially the technology was thought of as a fad that would soon disappear just as the other did, with passing of time and the number of innovations that are happening in the industry, people have come to realize that this is a technology that is here to stay and that it is becoming an essential part of all industries.
